Hassan Wadi, Global Director of Human Concern International, said, "As a Gazan, I cannot be prouder of the Turnstile team and community for coming together to support the people of Gaza, Lebanon and Sudan. Three regions who have suffered so much. With your support we aim to provide food, water, medical care and shelter to families in need in all three regions. Thank you all for your support. We are honored to collect and deliver these donations."
The concert will be the final date of their Never Enough Tour Pt. 2, which kicked off in May 2025 with a free concert in Baltimore.
Attendees can RSVP for the show here and make donations to the band's LaunchGood campaign here.
Turnstile Continues Humanitarian Efforts After SNL Performance
Turnstile recently appeared on Saturday Night Live, becoming the first hardcore band to perform on the show in 45 years.
Before their SNL performance, the band jokingly promised not to destroy the studio, as Fear did decades before them.
Turnstile also won a pair of Grammys this year. The Baltimore band secured Best Rock Album for Never Enough and Best Metal Performance for "BIRDS."
"We never thought we'd be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here," Turnstile
said of its Grammy wins. "This band has never been about the individual. But rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us. The world likes to tell us who we are and what we're not. The truth is we belong to nothing. We belong to everyone.""We're existing in a time of heightened state violence," the post continues. "We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don't belong to them. As if we don't belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing."
"Thank you to everyone who has allowed this band to be a mirror for this community," the band concluded.
